[0021] This application provides an automatic stacking device for rectangular tubes, effectively solving the problem that in traditional rectangular tube production and logistics, manual stacking is often relied upon. Manual stacking of rectangular tubes is a heavy physical task, requiring workers to constantly bend over, move, and stack, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also slow. In operation, the rectangular tubes are fed onto a collecting plate by a feeding mechanism. A second motor starts, driving a transmission belt to rotate via a transmission gear column. The transmission belt then delivers the rectangular tubes from the collecting plate to the sliding table. Under the force of the rotating transmission belt, the rectangular tubes press against the baffle. After the first rectangular tube is placed, the second motor stops, and the first motor starts rotating clockwise. The first motor then drives a transmission rod to rotate counterclockwise via gears. The transmission rod, through gears at both ends, drives a threaded rod to rotate. Since the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the sliding table, the rotation of the threaded rod causes the sliding table to slide outwards. After the sliding table has slid a distance equal to the width of one rectangular tube, the first motor stops under the control of the PLC, and the second motor starts again to deliver the second rectangular tube. On the sliding table, bring the second rectangular tube close to the first rectangular tube, and repeat the above operation until the first layer of rectangular tubes is arranged. After the first layer of rectangular tubes is arranged, the PLC will control the first electric pusher cylinder to retract, causing the sliding table to descend by the width of one rectangular tube. After the sliding table descends by the height of one rectangular tube, the first motor starts to reverse. The first motor drives the two threaded rods to reverse through the transmission rod, causing the sliding table to slide inward on the transmission rod, bringing the baffle close to the side of the gathering plate. The second motor starts to cause the transmission belt to continue conveying the rectangular tubes for the second layer of arrangement. After the second layer of rectangular tubes is arranged, repeat the above operation to arrange the third layer of rectangular tubes. After the rectangular tubes are stacked according to the set values of the PLC control system, the worker can tie the stacked rectangular tubes through the two openings on the sliding table. After the rectangular tubes are tied, the first electric pusher cylinder starts to lower the sliding table to the same level as the conveying mechanism, and then the second electric pusher cylinder starts to push the push plate to slide. The sliding push plate will pass through the two openings of the sliding table and push the rectangular tubes on the sliding table into the conveying mechanism. Example
[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the problem that in the traditional production and logistics of square and rectangular tubes, manual stacking is often relied upon. Manually stacking square and rectangular tubes is a heavy physical labor, requiring workers to constantly bend over, move, and pile them up. This is not only time-consuming and laborious but also slow. The overall idea is as follows:
[0023] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic stacking device for rectangular tubes, including a base 1, a first electric push cylinder 2, a lifting platform 3, a sliding platform 4, a threaded rod 5, a transmission rod 6, a first motor 7, a baffle 8, a torsion spring 9, a gathering plate 11, a transmission belt 12, a second motor 13, a second electric push cylinder 14, a push plate 15, and a transmission gear column 16. The first electric push cylinder 2 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the base 1, the lifting platform 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the first electric push cylinder 2, the sliding platform 4 is slidably installed on the top of the lifting platform 3, and the threaded rods 5 are symmetrically rotatably installed at both ends of the lifting platform 3; the two threaded rods 5 are threadedly connected to the two ends of the sliding platform 4.
[0024] The transmission rod 6 is rotatably mounted on the side end of the lifting platform 3, the first motor 7 is fixedly mounted on the side end of the lifting platform 3, the baffle 8 is rotatably mounted on the top of the sliding platform 4, and the torsion spring 9 is symmetrically mounted at the connection between the sliding platform 4 and the baffle 8; the two ends of the transmission rod 6 are connected to two threaded rods 5 through bevel gears, and the first motor 7 is connected to the transmission rod 6 through spur gears.
[0025] The gathering plate 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, the transmission gear column 16 is rotatably installed inside the gathering plate 11, the second motor 13 is fixedly installed on the side end of the gathering plate 11, and the transmission belt 12 is installed inside the gathering plate 11. The transmission belt 12 meshes with the transmission gear column 16, and the second motor 13 is connected to the transmission gear column 16 through a bevel gear. The second electric push cylinder 14 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the base 1, and the push plate 15 is fixedly installed on the side end of the second electric push cylinder 14.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] The first step is to place the device in the desired location. The opening of the gathering plate 11 is connected to the feeding mechanism. When the first electric push cylinder 2 retracts, the conveying mechanism is placed on the side of the sliding table 4. The first electric push cylinder 2, the first motor 7, the second motor 13, and the second electric push cylinder 14 are connected to the PLC control system via wires. In the initial state, the sliding table 4 is located near the bottom of the gathering plate 11, and its baffle 8 is near the side of the gathering plate 11. During use, the rectangular tube is fed onto the gathering plate 11 by the feeding mechanism. The second motor 13 starts and drives the transmission belt 12 to rotate through the transmission gear column 16. The transmission belt 12 will send the rectangular tube on the gathering plate 11 to the top of the sliding table 4. Under the force of motion, the rectangular tube will press against the baffle 8. After the first rectangular tube is placed, the second motor 13 stops, and the first motor 7 starts and rotates clockwise. The first motor 7 will drive the transmission rod 6 to rotate counterclockwise through the gears. The transmission rod 6 will drive the threaded rod 5 to rotate through the gears at both ends. Since the threaded rod 5 is threadedly connected to the sliding table 4, the rotation of the threaded rod 5 will cause the sliding table 4 to slide outward. After the sliding table 4 has slid a distance equal to the width of a rectangular tube, the first motor 7 will stop under the control of the PLC, and the second motor 13 will start again to transport the second rectangular tube to the sliding table 4, so that the second rectangular tube presses against the first rectangular tube. The above operation is repeated until the first layer of rectangular tubes is arranged.
[0028] The second step involves the PLC controlling the first electric pusher cylinder 2 to retract after the first layer of rectangular tubes is arranged. This causes the sliding table 4 to descend by the width of one rectangular tube. Once the sliding table 4 has descended by the height of one rectangular tube, the first motor 7 starts and reverses. The first motor 7, through the transmission rod 6, causes the two threaded rods 5 to reverse, making the sliding table 4 slide inward on the transmission rod 6, bringing the baffle 8 closer to the side of the gathering plate 11. The second motor 13 then starts, causing the transmission belt 12 to continue conveying the rectangular tubes for the second layer arrangement. After the second layer of rectangular tubes is arranged, the above operation is repeated for the third layer arrangement. Once the rectangular tubes are stacked according to the settings of the PLC control system, the worker can proceed... The rectangular tubes are bundled at the two openings on the sliding table 4. After the rectangular tubes are bundled, the first electric pusher cylinder 2 is activated to lower the sliding table 4 to the same level as the conveying mechanism. Then the second electric pusher cylinder 14 is activated to push the pusher plate 15 to slide. The sliding pusher plate 15 will pass through the two openings of the sliding table 4 and push the rectangular tubes on the sliding table 4 into the conveying mechanism. During this process, the rectangular tubes will push open the baffle 8 and make the baffle 8 rotate. After the rectangular tubes are pushed out, the baffle 8 will be reset under the action of the torsion spring 9. Then the first electric pusher cylinder 2, the first motor 7, the second motor 13 and the second electric pusher cylinder 14 will restore the equipment to the initial state under the control of the PLC.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
